Surely you can use a lot of tricks in order to identify a liar at the poker table but there is one that is so good at this problem. In a conversation, change the subject you're discussing fast enough that no one will notice it. Liars will soon realized that the subject has changed and will sigh with content because that's what they want. Whereas honest individuals will be confused and will ask you why did you change the subject and will want to go back in the former topic.

Starting a conversation is one of the best methods in order to know who's . Many poker players especially the good ones talk in the tables endlessly. They save your reactions when your troubled and even when you're calm. Your calm state will bring out your natural reactions which can be use as a weapon against you.

One good instance of a conversation to pick a tell is about "Amarillo Slim" Preston. There was a time that Slim really had this hate thing against lady poker players. During his career, he encountered a very good player who is a woman. With this challenge in tow, Slim has no chance to play around, he wanted to win so that he won't have a chance to be embarrassed.

As the games start Slim already overheard something about the women. This info is about how much she like the drink she ordered. She thought that this true emotion will not be use against her. But she's wrong. Slim had already think about this and decided to ask the status of her hand when the game progresses.

Slim won 3 consecutive times and the woman had been aware of his trick. She'd been informed that Slim picked tells through chatting with his opponents. To stop his winning streak the lady do what he didn't want her to do, ignore him. She equipped a headset and listen to music as the game progresses . Because of this the lady and Slim have been quite effective in the table. They wipe the floor clean with their great strategies.

Another trick using natural reaction against a poker player is this:

Andy plays poker regularly. One time you decided to play with him. While on the game, you see that his checking out the baseball game on TV. It is quiet obvious that Andy wants one team to win the game. Then you ask him if he had money at stake on the game. He answered you a definite yes and you realized that he has a very satisfied smile on his face while saying this and he also told you about the other games he bet into and won.

Now, you had a one on one huge bet against John and you wanted to make sure if he's hand is good or he's just bluffing. To know about that, you told him that you have a pretty big set of hand. He showed the same smirk you see when he won the bet on the baseball game. He's definitely giving out a tell.

If you want to use other people's natural reaction as a weapon against them in poker then it will be better if you see it first hand before or during the game. Observe how your opponents act truly and use it to know if they are bluffing you in poker or not.
